Perhaps you have never heard of Katherine Lawes．Katherine was the wife of Lewis Lawes, warden （监狱长） at Sing Sing Prison from 1920 to 1941．In these 21 years he made many reforms --- and an important part of his success was due to his wife Katherine．
Katherine took seriously the idea that the prisoners are human beings ,worthy of attention and respect ．She regularly visited inside the walls of Sing Sing．She encouraged the prisoners, took things to them and spent time listening to them．Most importantly, she cared about them．And as a result, they cared deeply about her．
Then one night in October of 1937, news was "telegraphed" between the prison cells that Katherine had been killed in an accident．The prisoners asked the warden to allow them to attend her funeral．He agreed to their strange request and a few days later the south gate of Sing Sing swung slowly open．Hundreds of men who had committed almost every crime imaginable marched slowly out of the prison, later gathered again at the gate and returned to their cells．There were so many that they proceeded unguarded．But no one tried to escape．If he had, the others might have killed him immediately．So devoted were they to Katherine Lawes, the woman who daily walked into Hell to show the men a piece of Heaven．
Katherine' s strength was to see the men less as prisoners and more as individuals．Thomas Moore once said, "We can only treat badly those things or people whose souls we show no respect for．"
54．When Katherine's husband was the warden at Sing Sing Prison, she did the following things EXCEPT_______________．
A．encouraging the prisoners B．visiting the prison houses

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
It was 4 o’clock in the morning on June 9, 2003 when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 21 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n) 22 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 23 .
The doctor described the 24 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 25 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much petrol. The flames 26 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
27 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and 28 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 29 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he 30 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 31 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 32 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 33 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 34 this wisdom on to my son. He kept my advice in 35 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars didn’t 36 , so he made the 37 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe 38 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 39 standards. Put your imperfections(缺点；瑕疵) out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 40 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
